Refutation of "11 Bizarre, Illogical or Silly Things Christians Tell Atheists"

[Mark L. Snyde, PhD]

Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I found this article posted by some smug, poop for brains atheist, and so I thought I would bring it here and refute it point by point, using the ultimate authority, the Word of God.

Is there anything more delightful than using God's Word to point out the folly of the world?

The "author" begins with the following commentary:

I'm an atheist. It's been my experience that this fact drives Christians absolutely out of their minds. They frequently think their beliefs give them permission to say anything they want to me. Here are some of the bizarre, insulting, or silly things they've said.

I wanted to first address the issue of our God given right to publicly rebuke sinners and put the fear of God into them:

1 Timothy 5:20 (1611 King James Bible)

Them that sinne rebuke before all, that others also may feare.

Okay, so we have established that God directs us to get in the face of atheists and point out the error of their sinful ways.

Following, is the list of things the silly atheist foolishly tries to address. Watch as God utterly destroys this fool, the ownage is epic...HALLELUJAH!!!

I thought you were too nice to be an atheist!
Thanks. I thought you were too nice to shovel your mythology at me.

Okay. This smarmy putz thinks he is clever by referring to The Word of God as mere "mythology." However, God clearly states that His Word is divinely inspired:

2 Timothy 3:16 (1611 King James Bible)

All Scripture is giuen by inspiration of God, & is profitable for doctrine, for reproofe, for correction, for instrution in righteousnesse,

You can't prove there's no God.
True. I don't have to. If you claim there is a God it's your job to prove it. As an analogy if I claimed Superman existed it would be my job to prove it, and you would be totally justified in thinking I was delusional. Get up, up and away from me.

For those of us that have actually sincerely sought out God, we have found Him and know He exists exactly as described by Him in His Word.

Jeremiah 29:13 (1611 King James Bible)

And ye shall seeke me, and finde me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Claiming there is no God therefore is obviously the exceptional claim, and as such requires exceptional proof.

Why do you hate God?
I don't. Saying I hate God would be like saying I hate Flargle-Dargle, Grand Emperor from planet Zinky-Pinky. I don't think about mythical figures enough to hate them.

Proverbs 29:27 (1611 King James Bible)

An vniust man is an abomination to the iust: and he that is vpright in the way, is abomination to the wicked.

Clearly God shows us that righteousness is hated by the wicked.

The existence of the universe proves the existence of God.
No, it proves the existence of the universe.

This one is too easy:

Genesis 1:1 (1611 King James Bible)

In the beginning God created the Heauen, and the Earth.

If God did not exist, then clearly the universe could not exist. Duh.

Aren't you afraid of going to heck?
No. I have a fire extinguisher and asbestos long johns. Seriously, why should I worry about an imaginary fire in an imaginary afterlife?

While there are many many verses in God's Word that clearly tell us hell is real, this one is a particular favorite of mine, as it elucidates the siffering there:

Matthew 13:50 (1611 King James Bible)

And shal cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing, and gnashing of teeth.

I hate you! You will burn in eternal fire!
I see that religion of love and turning the other cheek is working out well for you.

As God fearing True Christians, we are directed to hate evil. What could be more evil than those who reject God?

Proverbs 8:13 (1611 King James Bible)

The feare of the Lord is to hate euill: pride and arrogancie, and the euill way, and the froward mouth doe I hate.

Have you heard the good news about Jesus?
No, I don't watch FOX.

Here, Christians are following the commandment of Jesus:

Mark 16:15 (1611 King James Bible)

And he said vnto them, Goe yee into all the world, and preach the Gospel to euery creature.

Even Foxes should be told of the good news!

Romans 10:15 (1611 King James Bible)

And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written: How beautifull are the feete of them that preach the Gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

The atheist really had no point, but God wins anyway!

The Bible is the greatest moral work ever!
The Bible advocates murder, slavery, torture, rape, burning cities, and genocide. Good thing prison inmates find religion - reading that is sure to reform them.

Sinning is amoral. Sinning is transgression of God's Laws. God gave the Law, therefore, God is the author of morality.

1 John 3:4 (1611 King James Bible)

Whosoeuer committeth sinne, transgresseth also the lawe: for sinne is the transgression of the law.

Without God people would do horrible things!
Did you see those reports about atheist suicide bombers and the atheist inquisition torturing people? Me neither. It takes a deity to inspire that stuff.

See the previous point. Without God, there is no morality, so naturally, people would behave like wild animals.

Atheism is a religion.
Also, black is white, day is night, and up is down. No. Atheism is the absence of religion.

Clearly black is a state of white, day is a state of night, and up is a state of down.

2 Corinthians 6:14 (1611 King James Bible)

Be ye not vnequally yoked together with vnbeleeuers: for what fellowship hath righteousnesse with vnrighteousnesse? and what communion hath light with darknesse?

We all have beliefs, not a lack of beliefs. Atheists worship science. Atheism is a religion. Their high priest are called physicists, burning things in their great particle accelerators:

Deuteronomy 12:31 (1611 King James Bible)

Thou shalt not doe so vnto the Lord thy God: for euery abomination to the Lord which hee hateth, haue they done vnto their gods: for euen their sonnes and their daughters they haue burnt in the fire to their gods.

What if you're wrong?
What if there really is a Santa Claus?

Clearly, the atheists are wrong as I have shown in the previous 10 points.

Now, are we too surprised that God aced this test with a perfect score? No, of course we are not. We know God is perfect and can only perform perfectly. God tells us He is perfect, so we know He is.

Matthew 5:48 (1611 King James Bible)

Be yee therefore perfect, euen as your father, which is in heauen, is perfect.

Praise be unto our Perfect Father and His Perfect Son who will always be victorious without fail.

I wouldn't be surprised if no atheists responded to this; there's really nothing they could say. Even if they did, it would probably be the same trite, already-debunked arguments we've heard before time and again. This will have them running scared for sure. Any takers? No, I didn't think so.

It's funny how retarded you Christians are.

First of all, it is categorically impossible for a True Christian(tm) to be retarded, FACT.

Second, the fact that you find joy in the thought of millions of wheelchair-bound retards going to Hell is gruesome.

There really is a Santa Claus. He isn't a jolly old man who gives presents to children, though. He's a demon.

Dear Godmocking Maggot;

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule of worshiping satan and eating Christian babies to post this hateful message. The Holy Bible tells us that we are actually Blessed by your persecution! Thanks for proving that we're right.

Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Enjoy hell. I know that Jesus and I can't wait to watch you burn in hell for all eternity. Oh, how we'll laugh at you as you scream in agony! Shout Glory!!

YIC,

--Pastor Ezekiel
